Overview

Use the Web Disk interface to manage your Web Disk accounts. The Web Disk utility allows you to manage and manipulate files on your server in multiple types of interfaces (for example, your computer, mobile device, or certain types of software). You can choose a more familiar interface that makes file management tasks easier to complete.

Main Web Disk Account

By default, the system creates a Web Disk account for your cPanel account, and sets your home directory as the Web Disk location. This account uses the same login information as your cPanel account and can access all of the files in your home directory.

To access these files, select Access Web Disk.

Create an Additional Web Disk Account

You can create additional Web Disk accounts to access the home directory or any subdirectory under the home directory.

To create an additional Web Disk account:

1. Enter the desired account information in the available text boxes.
   • If your account includes multiple domains, you can select a domain or subdomain from the Domain menu.
   • Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

2. Select a Permissions setting:
   • Read-Write — This setting grants this account access to all of the operations inside the directory.
   • Read-Only — This setting only grants this account access to read, download, and list the files inside the directory.
3. Select Create.
